Living Upside Down




I like this concept of Paloma Faith's living upside down. Full lyrics below:


Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face
Coz I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place

It feels sometimes this is too steep for a girl like me to climb
But I must knock those guards right down I do it in my own time


I don't care (care care)
I'm half way there (nowhere)
On a road that leads me to straight to who knows where

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)


Watchin people scurry by rushing to and fro
Oh this world is such a crazy place it's all about the go go go

Sometimes life can taste so sweet When you slow it down
You start to see the world a little differently When you turn it upside down

I don't care (care care)
I'm half way there (nowhere)
And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

(Whoa Whoa Whoa)
You gotta slow it down
(Yeah Yeah Yeah)
But then you pick it up
(Whoa Yeah Whoa)
C'mon and try a little topsy-turvy back-to-front the right way round
Take it slow slow slow (You gotta pick it up)
Yeah Yeah Yeah (See you slow it down)
Yo Yo Yo (Tell me something something)

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

Here’s an inspiring story by the Texas Country Reporter:

Call it crazy, call it courageous, call it a case of blind ambition. For john, it’s simple really: epilepsy took away his vision but it didn’t change the fact that this aspiring author has stories to tell. Sight or no sight some dreams die hard.

Call of the Entrepreneur

An entrepreneur is the creative force in economics.He looks at a desert and wilderness and sees a garden.

They could lose it all and do it over and over again.

When your butt is in the corner you will be surprised at what you can achieve.

Walking on Water

Become Legendary




Look me in the eyes. It's okay if you're scared, So am I. But we're scared for different reasons. I'm scared of what I won't become, and you're scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won't let myself end where I started, I won't let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, Even if you can't see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become, what I know I am.
